mithras_angel:I agree, fame can be a pain. I am ~very~ (probably ~extremely~ is better there) minorly internet famous. I qualify that statement with, I appear by my real name on TVTropes, in a popular fiction series, and in writing credits for a handful of things (including something that was translated to Portuguese, and I wasn't aware of it until 2 years after the fact). The middle one has caused some booksellers, when I hand over a payment card, to question whether or not I'm really me, or using an "obviously" fake name. It's also caused a few coworkers, who have read that series, to occasionally mock me.

I suppose, in my case, I knew what I was getting into when I did the things that caused this. And one could argue that TV didn't.

Also not true, even Twilight is better than that empty unbelievable crap. Honor never did anything but swagger around and take credit for everything she never earned. It's like the author has a femboss fetish, but he does not really believe a woman can actually accomplish anything, just fill out a costume and pose and take prizes for it. So that's all he can describe a female character doing.

Is that what David Weber thinks?

I've no real idea what he thinks, though I don't agree with your characterization of HH.

The appearance in the book was an item in a charity auction, at a little convention that was apparently 5 miles from his house. He put an "appearance and glorious death" up for auction.

I got it because mom reads the series fanatically, and was just waiting for the phone call of "Why are you in this book? How are you in this book?"
